On Saturday, March 10 Bishop Michael Mulvey celebrated a Mass held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church to welcome members of the Focolare Movement, who have relocated to the Diocese of Corpus Christi. They will be working to assist the spiritual and ministerial needs of the diocese. The men and women who are coming will work in parish and campus ministry. This is th first time in the movement's history to relocate to a diocese.

The pastoral planning process for the Diocese of Corpus Christi is now in full listening mode. Listening sessions were conducted throughout the diocese in late February. At six parish sites, over 300 participants came to offer their input about their hopes and dreams for the future of the diocese based on the vision laid out by Bishop Mulvey. The sessions were held in both English and Spanish. Significant input was given, all of which will be analyzed, summarized and shared in future updates.

Linda lived by the words of Jesus in Matthew 25 “Whatever you do to the least, you do it to me”. This, for her is her guiding principle and truth – to seek out and see the face of Jesus in every person. Her witness will remain now and into the future.I am grateful to Linda McKamie for her passion for serving the poor and the joy with which she did so every day. She was always available and always present…not just physically. Linda will be greatly missed on the day-to-day, but I count on her prayers and wisdom as we continue to follow her lead. Thank you, Linda,”
